During an appearance on the Drinkin Bros podcast in 2021, Kash Patel called Vice President Kamala Harris a fake Indian, a comment unbecoming of a candidate for FBI Director. This rhetoric, rooted in mockery and divisiveness, reflects a troubling lack of judgment and respect that should disqualify him from consideration for such a critical role in safeguarding justice and national security.
Vice President Harriss heritage is well-documented; her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born in India, and her father, Donald J. Harris, is of Jamaican descent. Patels disparaging comments dismiss Harriss multicultural identity and trivialize the diverse fabric of America. Instead of celebrating the unique backgrounds that contribute to the nations strength, Patel resorted to denigration, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
The FBI Director is entrusted with upholding the law impartially and fostering public trust. Such responsibilities demand a leader who exemplifies integrity, inclusivity, and the ability to unite people across divides. Patels comments not only demonstrate a lack of these qualities but also raise concerns about his temperament and ability to lead an agency tasked with protecting all Americans, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
Patels comments show he is unfit for the job, even if Trump, as he demonstrated during the 2024 election, welcomes attacks on Kamala Harris racial identity and heritage. Surely, a better candidate than Kash Patel can be found.
